Who am I: Amber Force

Grade Level/Discipline: 7th grade Civics

Few Facts about myself:
Fact 1: I was married on the beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico seven years ago
Fact 2: I have 2 wonderful daughters. Zoey is 4 years old, and Carly is 16 months.
Fact 3: In college, I traveled to Germany, Switzerland, and Austria to play soccer for a couple of weeks.
Fact 4: Other hobbies include video editing, digital scrapbooking, sandpit volleyball, running, and hiking.

What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:
How can I keep my students engaged in the classroom using the little technologies available to me? Can I find a better way to make what I teach appropriate for the Net-generation? How can I get the students to enjoy my class and actually learn something? How can I get my students to walk up to me 3 years from now and say, “Mrs. Force, I still remember everything you taught me!”?

My favorite game(s):
Xbox 360 Kinect games. I specifically like Dance Central (even though I am not very good at it).
